Zoltán Somhegyi (ed.). Retracing the past. Historical continuity in aesthetics from a global perspective International Yearbook of Aesthetics. Volume 19. 2017
Content
The selection of essays in the 19th Yearbook of the International Association for Aesthetics aims to analyse the phenomenon of retracing the past, i.e. of identifying the signs, details and processes of the creative re-interpretation of long-lasting traditions both in actual works of art and in aesthetic thought, hence where the historical interconnectedness and the influence of earlier sources can appear.

Questions and problems of perspectives of art
The ambition of the two international scientific conferences is to explore and discuss various methodological approaches to the perspectives of art from the mid-19th century (specifically from the publication of the two-part Aesthetics by G.W.F. Hegel in 1832), through the present to the formulation of assumptions of possible future of art, its meanings, or its place in society.
Application deadline: March 31, 2018

CALL FOR PAPERS
The Architecture Unit of ATINER organizes A Stream on “Architectural Theory-Aesthetic Issues”, 9-12 July, 2018 as part of the 8th Annual International Conference on Architecture sponsored by the Athens Journal of Architecture.
The stream has a goal to encourage theoreticians and practicing architects to explore and present ideas linked to aesthetic issues regarding the art and science of building activity as communication of cultural, social, and political meanings. In that sense, architecture, incorporating other arts, builds and forms metaphorical and symbolical language in order to express such meanings. Scholars and practitioners are particularly welcome to address contemporary issues in the field of aesthetics regarding architecture and build environment, according to its constant transformational and dynamic process of development. Our dynamic age seems to abandon the idea of coherently defined aesthetic values in architectural and urban design, and in that sense new approaches should be proposed and discussed.
Deadline for abstract submission: March 12, 2018.
